	Automation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Automation (ancient Greek: = self dictated) or industrial automation is the use of computers to control industrial machinery and processes, replacing human operators.
		It appears that automation does devalue unskilled labour through its replacement with less-expensive machines, however the overall effect of this on the workforce as a whole remains unclear.
		Today automation of the workforce in the "western world" is quite advanced, yet during the same period the general wellbeing of its citizens has increased dramatically.

		Automation ((The Greek language prior to the Roman Empire) ancient Greek: = self dictated) or Industrial Automation is the use of (A machine for performing calculations automatically) computers to control industrial machinery and processes, replacing human operators.
		This is accomplished by using test automation tools to produce special scripts (written as ((computer science) a sequence of instructions that a computer can interpret and execute) computer programs) that tell the computer exactly what to do in order to run the same manual tests.
		They are also implementing automation to operations that may be hazardous to employees, such as (The act of throwing a fishing line out over the water by means of a rod and reel) casting.
